Browsing the Internet with Internet Explorer.

The Address Bar
If you know the exact address of the web site that you are looking for, type the address in the
address bar. E.g. If you were looking for Greater Sites you would type www.greatersites.net
in the address bar.

Search Engine
If you are looking for a web site that you do not know the address of, you would type
what you are looking for in a search engine. e.g. Holidays. But if you search for Holidays
you will end up with thousands of results. So to narrow down your search, type
holidays+France, this way the search engine will only look for Holidays in France.

Remember: to type Internet Address and E-mail Addresses in lower case NOT CAPITALS.

Favorites
If you visit a site that you like and would like to visit it again at another time, just click on "favorite's" and select "add to favorite's" or "bookmark". Now the next time you want to go back to that site just select it from your favorite's". You can always delete it again if you want. Just right click and delete. Not before long your "favorites" list becomes huge so now it's time to organize your "favorites".To do this open your browser, select "favorite" and "organize". You can then create new folders. For example, you had a lot of pages on sport. You could create a folder and call it "sports", then drag the pages you want and drop them in the folder and so on,
